What Revenue-Based Elite Status is For, and Why United is Doing it Wrong

Airlines Try to Balance the Number of Elite Flyers With Airline Capacity Back in November I explained how frequent flyer programs manage their elite levels. “Too many elites” is a problem when a program can’t deliver benefits. On the other hand, when elite ranks shrink (usually during bad economic times although also when an airline […]

Review: American Airlines First Class A321 New York To Los Angeles

American has been flying their new Airbus A321s between New York and Los Angeles since last January, and suffice to say it's a really nice product. American previously operated 767-200s on the route. While widebodies are nice, the planes were old and the hard product was outdated.

It's interesting that American went for a premium configuration, which includes 10 first class seats, all of which have direct aisle access. This came at the same time that United was eliminating first class from their transcon routes, making American the only carrier to offer three cabin service between New York and Los Angeles.

I reviewed American's A321 first class shortly after it commenced service on the route last year, so was curious to see how the product was holding up.

What To Do When American Agents Can’t See Etihad Award Space?

One of my favorite American AAdvantage airline partners is Etihad Airways. While they’re not part of oneworld, they are an AAdvantage airline partner, and they’ve been great about making all saver level award space available through American. Searching Etihad award space directly through Etihad’s website is quite straightforward, and once you’ve found “GuestSeat” availability you…

Kaligo Makes It Easier to Earn a 10,000 Mile Hotel Booking Bonus — for New And Existing Customers Alike

Last month I wrote about new hotel booking site Kaligo. They’re similar to Rocketmiles and PointsHound in that they kick you back airline miles when you book hotels through their system. At the time they offered readers 1000 extra bonus miles with first booking. Plenty of readers took them up on the bonus. (For avoidance […]
